    • Thanks for coming back and letting us know. Obviously we totally disagree with their decision.  Their remortgaging could only have gone wrong if they had ended up with a CCJ.  And how do you get a CCJ?  If you lose in court and then defy the court and don't pay.  Even if you lose in court, you don't get a CCJ as long as you pay within the 30 days ordered by the court.  Even had they lost in court the judge would have disallowed the interest and the £70 Unicorn Food Tax that PE made up.  There was no advantage whatsoever for giving in and paying now. But thanks to you for letting us know - a hell of a lot of users don't.
    • Hi everyone.   Before I say anything, TFL finally responded to the email I sent last week:   Thank you for your email, we acknowledge the signed documents you have returned in preparation for your hearing.   We note that this matter is causing you some stress and anxiety, however this is not a reason for TfL to discontinue proceedings. It is not unusual for passengers that have been summonsed to court to experience these symptoms, and we do have some empathy with your concerns.   However, as previously stated, TfL do not accept out of court settlements, and you will have the opportunity at your hearing, to provide your mitigation to the court prior to a decision being reached by them on how they intend to deal with this matter (usually a fine).   I am sorry that this decision is not more favourable.   Yours sincerely   James Vallis     At least he sounds more sympathetic in this email…   Only one week to go until the court hearing and I am so so nervous. I’ve prepared some questions and answers in preparation for what to say to the magistrate. It will help calm me down if I know roughly what to expect. If you could give feedback on it that would be great. If you have anything to add please do let me know.   As far as I know the court hearing will happen in these stages: Introduction and statement of facts Pleading guilty for the journeys I made with my mother’s card Penalty sentencing Appeal (if charged with a criminal record)   Am I guilty? Yes.   Why did I not pay the fare legally? Last year there was a lot going on in my life and I was struggling financially so to relieve some of this I used my mother’s Oyster card. I know it’s not an excuse and it’s still wrong.   Why do I not accept a criminal record? I really don’t want it to affect my chances of finding a job in the future. I will be the one earning money in my family so I am doing my best and studying hard to be able to get a good job. A criminal record would mean that regardless of how hard I’m working I won’t get the job I want after I graduate. This fills me with so much regret, sadness and disappointment in myself. I just want to be a good daughter for my mother because she’s already had to deal with many hardships in her life and I don’t want to make it any harder for her.
    • HI all, This is done now. My daughter and her fella are currently in the process of remortgaging so they just paid it out of panic. Thank you anyway DX
    • MCOL will tell you once they've filed it with the courts so just check there. I'm sure the courts are massive fans of DCBL using official documents to harass and scare people (Not! ) Remember that the courts call the shots now, not the claimant.

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

The last payment on this account was made for £108.85 on 13/04/2015 before a default was applied on 10/12/2015 for the balance of £674.76. 

Lowell stated the above

that's exactly the same as the bt thread

correct. The Vodafone account is not mine. i never had the telephone number they cite as the number associated with teh account that they claim i owe £674. so i cannot ignore it because its on my credit report. i need to borrow funds, and this is the only derog stopping me.  help me challenge it,.

A single mobile default should not hurt borrowing.

Your target would be vodafone

Lowell are merely a debt buyer

i sent it off last week. 

yes, i get decline because this shows as a recent and recurring default since 2015 on my TransUnion.  it needs to come off.

lowell is reporting, surely there is a way to challenge it, because if they own the debt, the need to prove the account is mine, like you said its the same information that was on the BT account a year ago.

help me challenge it please.

silly markers in the monthly calendar section d d d mean nothing and can't harm you further.

its the defaulted date thats there in the summary status line that hurts you for 6yrs then the whole a/c will disappear then.

what is that defaulted date?

well lets hope this time you see it through..not get help and disappear for 6mts......

 

you need to gather information not simply keep waving ones arms and going wah..wah i've got this problem

its wrong 

its not mine

its unfair

i want it gone now

 

you have an sar running to whom we believe is the original creditor vodafone.

you have an sar running to lowells whose name is shown as the owner.

 

from those we should be able to find the truth here and get a plan of action going forward.

 

however to date i'm not convinced a telecom default is the only reason why you are getting refused whatever it was credit wise that restarted your quest.

 

most if not all lenders today ignore a telecom default if thats all thats bad.. my gut tells me there are other reasons you have for being refused by whom on what type of credit and if they even gave a reason why..pointing directly to it being because of this default..

 

..if this is the only thing on your credit file

the reason this hurts my file is because it is updated every month continues to show default since 2015.  it is the only derog on my report. because it is updated every month, it hurts my score.

i got refused, but in other cases because of the default, i get offers at a much higher interest rates, and sub prim lenders. 

sub prime lenders

no calendar markers hurt your score at all once a debt is registered with a default at xxx date.

unless you have it in black and white from a lender specifically stating this default is the reason and the only reason why they refused you i suspect you have other issues that you are not spotting, like financial association to someone with a poor record or voter address issues.

a lender will rarely in this day and age refuse credit for a single telecom default.

we've seen lots of people get mortgages with telecom defaults here.

your credit file is not the only source of info lenders use to make their decisions.

not the case.

i am on the electoral roll, and don't have any one associated with me at all. 

i got a refusal stating recent defaults, this is one that is updated every month, the point is it is not mine.

now i have another question unrelated to this.

i have a personal loan with Likely loans.

i have had a payment holiday and times up.

i want to refinance this debt.

i have an offer for a much better interest rate.

im trying to see if they will take a reduced amount to settle given covid and many ppls are taking holidays.

Has anyone on this site discussed a range of discounts being given during covid to settle at less than the full amount? if yes what is the %.

i want to make them an offer.

i am happy for you to repost this ( cut and paste) on a new thread.

start a separate topic in the PDL forum for the LL PDL hit Create in the top red banner.

 

when you get the data from the SAR's ...if that proves it's not your debt, it can be deal with.

 

however this LL PDL proves you do have other running credit account(s) which you've never related to owning

so it might well be, given these other account (s) you are considered too much of a risk, the tipping point being the default, which might be a good thing you are being refuse more.

 

i have had a feeling from day one we didn't have the full story regardless to being refused for a single default.

its a very bad idea to rely upon PDL lending.

you have misunderstood.

its not a pdl loan.

its also not in default.

i have made the payments as agreed.

everything is good except the Lowell account.

 

lowell reports to TU there my score is 556, my Equifax is 589.

 

i am almost at the top of the score band on Equifax. Lowell doesn't report there. 

 

i am just trying to see what i can get away with paying less settling a debt for less, and get a better interest rate in the process. all my debts are paid on time for the past 6+ yrs except lowell. 

 

this is not a pdl its an unsecured personal loan. the link supplied doesnt work and is not the right topic.

Just to be clear

the dca doesnt decide where a debt shows

the oc does that upon their backdoor sign ups with contractors.

 

lets await the sars

Hello, i have  now searched back through my records on the BT and Vodafone accounts.

 

I will deal with the BT first.

I  asked for information on BT from Lowell .

Original balance they report was £499.93

Last pay date was 16/12/14.        

acct number ended in 875

original acct no end in 207 however they claim it was a mobile account ended in 1401 but its a landline

Default date is 08/2015

bill date is 27/03/2015

start date June 2014

account cancelled by BT

last pay £86.16

terminate fee £241.00

airtime £257.94

 

The above information is on a response letter from Lowell dated January 2020.  

 

" We have requested from BT a copy of the statements for the account to help clarify the matter for you, We will write to you further once we have received this documentation".  

This was the last communication from them other than debt collection letters.   

 

They claim airtime for a landline. I also cannot believe that there is a early termination fee for a landline.  What do i need to ask for to dispute this debt? 

                                                          

also how can they report the debt in default a year after i moved out of the property and the line was suspended by me?

5th time now...await a letter of claim..

 

not alot more you can do really...

you could waste more time and silly letter tennis to say BT and argue as you moved out xxxx date , they took 1yrs to register the default which if corrected, would mean the debt would not show now and thus be SB'd...

but its only got 4mts to go before it vanishes anyway from your file and becomes also statute barred.

i cant see lowells ever getting this to court in that time as:

 yet to issue a letter of claim - from that you have 1 month to reply

they must await another 1 month following your before ever issuing the claim.

I keep getting emails from Lowell on an old BT account that was closed more than 10 yrs ago.

I have ignored it.

Do they eventually stop?

Otherwise do you have a standard letter to send them to get them to stop?

I haven’t had a bt acct since 2014.

Thanks.
